What it is and who needs it.
What the township permit bond covers
When you do work in a Sterling town road or right-of-way — a driveway tie-in, a road opening, a culvert, or other improvement that touches the public way — the Town of Sterling issues a township permit and conditions it on a surety bond.
The bond runs to the Town of Sterling as obligee. It guarantees that you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the road and right-of-way so the town is left whole. If you abandon the work or leave the road unrestored, the town can recover its restoration cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish and restore to spec treat this as a permit formality. Premiums start from $100; no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
